Service bulletins
What Honda told its dealers about the 2015 Honda Fit: known faults, fixes and updates.
| Bulletin | Summary |
|---|---|
| 10215234 | Service bulletin - The MIL comes on with DTC P0300 (random misfire detected) or P0301P0304 (cylinder misfire detected). Carbon buildup on the intake valves may be affecting combustion. |
| 10213565 | "Customer letter - On some 2015-2016 Fit vehicles, certain fuel injectors may not have been installed to proper specifications. An incorrectly installed fuel injector may lead to increased wear inside the injectors. This could result in reduced flow in the injectors and cause misfire, air/fuel ratio imbalance, catalyst deterioration misdetection and/or fuel metering, resulting in MIL (Malfunction Indicator Lamp) turning on." |
| 10211617 | These problems are reported to happen intermittently and we?re working on a fix. Until it?s available, replace the audio unit. Reman units have been updated. |
| 10211614 | On the Monroney label, the bumper compliance statement is missing. Do an iN VIN status inquiry to make sure the vehicle is shown as eligible. Vehicles affected by this campaign may be in your new vehicle inventory. Repair these vehicles before they are sold. No action is needed on vehicles that have been sold. |
| 10211587 | Call any authorized Honda dealer and make an appointment to have your vehicle repaired. The dealer will replace the door handle bracket and remove any corrosion found from the door handle area. The repair takes about 90 minutes; however, your vehicle may need to be at the dealer for a longer period of time. We recommend that you plan to leave your vehicle for half a day to allow the dealer flexibility in scheduling. In rare cases of significant corrosion, further repairs may be needed and may take several days. This work will be done free of charge. |
| 10211586 | Our records indicate that a PRODUCT UPDATE has not been completed on this vehicle; refer to the address card for the affected VIN.
